Portrait of General Charles Francis Joseph Dugua

Charles Francis Joseph Dugua (b. Toulouse, 1740 - d. Crête-à-Pierrot, October 16 1802) was a general of the French Revolution.

He was present during Napoleon's 1798 campaign in Egypt. Before departing for Syria, Napoleon gave Dugua to command Cairo.[1] When he returned to France he brought back printed copies of the Rosetta Stone that would be presented to scholars throughout Europe.

He died during the Battle of Crête-à-Pierrot, which was a major battle of the Haitian Revolution.
